OMERO.importer Formats
This page lists all the formats currently supported by OMERO.importer
Currently Supported Importer Formats
The OMERO.importer uses the LOCI bio-formats library to support a number of formats. Please note however that we try to extensively test each file format before we add it to the importer, so our success depends on how much test data we have.
As always, contributions of sample data will help to ensure that the OMERO.importer accurately supports a wide range of formats, and any contributions you may wish to make are always welcome by contacting us on our forums here, or our user mailing list here.
NOTE:
As of version 4.1 the OMERO.importer supports the entire range of bio-formats file types. To review what formats are currently supported by bio-formats, see the bio-formats supported lile list.
